Hi. Yes that was him. I really did hate been called sir myself, but It did install discipline and respect - something footballers could learn - then again I was at times called things VERY different from sir

Very good ref,you probably reffed our age group too.It was always impressed upon us to call the ref "Sir",it was amazing what you could get away with when you did that

No doubt I will have done, from 86-88, then I smashed my ankle. Although I was grateful to East Leeds as we used to train there and got myself back to full fitness.
I did have one sad regret when I had to send off one of your youngsters at Bus Vale for throwing a punch and it connected. It made me feel down at the time and made me want to pack it in.

Thank god for that. If I remember I think he was one of the front rowers, dark hair. It was against Middleton and the lad caught one of theirs with an absolute beauty, he was out cold. Dennis pleaded with me at the time, but I had little choice, it was in front of all my colleagues and the society president was there too and had I not sent him off then I would have been in trouble. But it still hurt to send a youngster off no matter what the circumstances.
